On July 7, 2026, the United States revoked a sanctions waiver, “General License X,” which allowed for the sale of Iranian oil (see: https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5957647-iran-oil-sanctions-waiver-strait-of-hormuz/). This market will resolve to “Yes” if the United States federal government issues a waiver, license, or equivalent sanctions-relief mechanism lifting US sanctions on the sale of Iranian oil, petrochemical products, or petroleum products by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise this market will resolve to “No”. Actions which direct partial or full sanction relief will both qualify. However, qualifying actions must reverse, remove, waive, or suspend US penalties on the sale of Iranian oil, petrochemical products, or petroleum products, in whole or in part. Qualifying actions need not be permanent; temporary suspensions of sanctions will qualify. Relief issued for either primary or secondary sanctions will qualify. A re-issuance of the initial waiver will qualify. The full removal of any sanction on the sale of Iranian oil, petrochemical products, or petroleum products will also qualify. Continued sales of Iranian oil allowed during the wind-down period under this revocation order will not qualify. Mere extensions of the wind-down period, without issuance of a new qualifying sanctions-relief action, will not qualify. Once a qualifying sanctions relief action has been taken, this market will resolve to “Yes,” regardless of any subsequent revocation. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the United States federal government.**US revocation of the June 22 general license authorizing Iranian crude, petrochemical, and petroleum product sales through August 21 has tightened near-term supply expectations and lifted Brent/WTI prices more than 5% amid Strait of Hormuz tanker strikes.** The action replaces the prior waiver with a wind-down deadline of July 17, reflecting heightened geopolitical risk premiums in energy markets and reduced trader confidence in sustained sanctions relief. Market-implied odds for any near-term reissuance now hinge on diplomatic progress in ongoing U.S.-Iran talks, potential further incidents at the critical Hormuz chokepoint, and downstream effects on global oil balances, inflation data, and Treasury yields. Upcoming catalysts include the July 17 deadline and any new OFAC guidance.
